Tuesday Evening, Aug. 9, 1857.
The Council met in regular session,
with the following members present =
Steinman, President Gage, Clerk, and
Messrs. Gould, Kreig, Price. Rochester.
Braddock. Keynes sn1 Schlagetter.
Minutes OF last meeting read and ap
proved.
[The minutes show that Mr.. Waner's
motion to confirm the appointment Of
Weaver as depot police was ruled ont
of order by the chair. That is not q
fair statement. Mr.. Waner's motion
was seconded by Mr.. Gould and it was
only after the question had been debat-
ed for half hour that the chair ruled it
out of order. Our charge that the ruiz
ing of the chair was autocratic and
without precedent. was thought to be q
little severe. We call attention to the
subject again, because the minutes as
approved do not show just what did oc-
cur at that one particular point in the
proceeding of the Council. ]-REPoRrER.

The drainage committee reported on
the ditch improvement ut "Hen Peck."
Some persons wanted improvement,
some did not. The subject was drop
ped.
Mr.. Price offered the following reso-
luton
1st. Be it resolved by the Council of
the Village of Logan, Hooking county,
Ohio, That it is hereby made the duty
of the Marshal of the Incorporated Viii
lage of Logan, o., to be at the railroad
depot Of the G. H. v. & I. r. r at the

arrives between the, hours of o clock,
A. NJ, and ] O'Clock, P. NJ, Of each
day, except Sunday. and the afternoon
train from Straitsville, auG perform
such duties as his Office requires.
I'd. That It shall be the duty of one
of the night police to be at the railroad
depot at the arrival of every passenger
train of each day that arrives there be-
tween the hours of o'clock, P. NJ. and
o'clock, A. NJ, and perform such du-
ties as his Office requires.
The introduction OF this resolution called
out some good natured criticisms on the
Inconsistency OF the members supporting
raised, were opposed to the appointment OF
a depot police because one was not needed.
That WIS he stand taken two weeks ago.
The 7. resolution was lost by the following
ter. Nays-Gould, waner, Kreig, Keynes
and Schlagetter.

and before vote was taken, that Solicitor

way and refused to be choked Oft. There
upon the chair proceeded TO administer n
mild lecture as TO the duties OF the SOlicI-
tor. The solicitor held that he had q right
to speak, that he had voice in the meet
Ing, but no vote, and therefore declined to
be shut mp, and wanted to know what the
chair was going TO do about IL. Under the
rules the question goes over until the next
meeting without further debate.
On motion of Mr.. Keynes, 1. n. Collins
was allowed to have corporation scrnpers
to use on the race track at the fair grounds.
The question OF pavements, aud by the
way a very aged chestnut, was brought up
and called out some spirited speeches.
Mr.. Gould said ordinances had peen
passed compelling the paving of certain
streets, but the work had not been DONE
He otjected to the Council compelling AL
the poor people and widows on these streets
to pave and allowing other people, who
were able, to put the work on indefinitely.
He thought the excuses offered were very
finisey. The Council could bring poor
widow to time, but somehow It always
lost its grip when 1t tackled a man of
means.
The Council, on motion OF Mr.. Rochester,
adjourned.
